Media: oil on canvas panel
Size: 6x6 in
This painting was taken from a photo you can view on my blog. I snapped it along the banks of the Conejos River in southern Colorado, just as the sun began bowing down behind the mountains. I love this "magic-time" of day as cool haunting shadows stretch their way across the earth like enormous color erasers. In resistance, the sun seems to intensify its strength, shooting out hot flashes of the brightest hues, engulfing everything visible in a wash of illuminating light. To me, there is nothing more beautiful then to witness those last long- slender fingers of light as they scratch the earth in dire desperation to hold on to the day.
